Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to selective epitaxial deposition of silicon-containing materials and more particularly to the use of cyclohexasilane, C 6 Hi 2 , in chemical vapor deposition processes for the deposition of thin silicon- containing materials on various substrates.
- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- the process is often used in the semiconductor industry to produce thin films.
- the wafer substrate
- volatile precursors which react and/or decompose on the substrate surface to produce the desired deposit.
- volatile by-products are also produced, which are removed by gas flow through the reaction chamber.
- Ultrahigh vacuum CVD (UHVCVD) - CVD processes at a very low pressure, typically 10 "9 Torr base/ 10 "5 to 50mTorr operating pressure.
- silane SiH 4
- SiH 4 very thin silicon-containing films using silane
- a selective epitaxial process involves a deposition reaction and an etch reaction.
- the deposition and etch reactions occur simultaneously with relatively different reaction rates to an epitaxial layer and to a polycrystalline layer.
- the epitaxial layer is formed on a monocrystalline surface while a polycrystalline layer is deposited on at least a second layer, such as an existing polycrystalline layer and/or an amorphous layer.
- the deposited polycrystalline layer is generally etched at a faster rate than the epitaxial layer. Therefore, by changing the concentration of an etchant gas, the net selective process results in deposition of epitaxial material and limited, or no, deposition of polycrystalline material.
- a selective epitaxial process may result in the formation of an epilayer of silicon-containing material on a monocrystalline silicon surface while no deposition is left on the spacer.
- the performance of semiconductors devices may be further enhanced by increasing circuit performance.
- the amount of current that flows through the channel of a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor is directly proportional to a mobility of carriers in the channel, and the use of high mobility MOS transistors enables more current to flow and consequently faster circuit performance.
- MOS metal oxide semiconductor
- mobility of the carriers in the channel of a MOS transistor can be increased by producing a mechanical stress, i.e., strain, in the channel.
- a number of approaches for inducing strain in Si- and Ge-containing materials have focused on exploiting the differences in the lattice constants between various crystalline materials.
- thin layers of a particular crystalline material are deposited onto a different crystalline material in such a way that the deposited layer adopts the lattice constant of the underlying single crystal material.
- Strain may also be introduced into single crystalline Si-containing materials by replacing Si in the lattice structure with a dopant, commonly referred to as substitutional doping.
- substitutional doping For example, substitution of germanium atoms for some of the silicon atoms in the lattice structure of single crystalline silicon produces a compressive strain in the resulting substitutionally doped single crystalline silicon material because the germanium atoms are larger than the silicon atoms that they replace.
- a tensile strain may be introduced into single crystalline silicon by substitutional doping with carbon, because carbon atoms are smaller than the silicon atoms that they replace. See, e.g., Judy L.
- in situ doping is often preferred over ex situ doping followed by annealing to incorporate the dopant into the lattice structure because the annealing may undesirably consume thermal budget.
- in situ substitutional carbon doping is complicated by the tendency for the dopant to incorporate non-substitutionally during deposition, e.g., interstitially in domains or clusters within the silicon, rather than by substituting for silicon atoms in the lattice structure. See, e.g., the aforementioned article by Hoyt.
- Non-substitutional doping also complicates substitutional doping using other material systems, e.g., carbon doping of SiGe, doping of Si and SiGe with electrically active dopants, etc.
- prior deposition methods have been used to make crystalline silicon having an in situ doped substitutional carbon content of up to 2.3 atomic %, which corresponds to a lattice spacing of over 5.4 A and a tensile stress of less than 1.0 GPa.
- prior deposition methods are not known to have been successful for depositing single crystal silicon having an in situ doped substitutional carbon content of greater than 2.3 atomic %.
- the elemental composition of doped thin films is often not homogeneous in the cross-film and/or through-film directions because of differences in relative incorporation rates of the dopant elements.
- the resulting films do not exhibit uniform elemental concentrations and, therefore, do not exhibit uniform film physical properties across the surface and/or through the thickness of the film.
- cyclohexasilane like trisilane, can be used as a silicon precursor to deposit very thin, smooth Si-containing films over large area substrates.
- a method for depositing a thin film comprising: introducing a gas comprising cyclohexasilane to a chamber, wherein the chamber contains a substrate having a substrate surface; establishing cyclohexasilane chemical vapor deposition and decomposition conditions in the chamber; and depositing a Si-containing film onto the substrate surface.
- a deposition method comprising: providing a substrate disposed within a chamber, wherein the substrate comprises a first surface having a first surface morphology and a second surface having a second surface morphology different from the first surface morphology; introducing cyclohexasilane to the chamber under chemical vapor deposition conditions; initiating decomposition of said cyclohexasilane; and depositing a Si-containing film onto the substrate over both of the first surface and the second surface.
- a high-rate deposition method comprising: delivering cyclohexasilane to a mixed substrate surface under chemical vapor deposition conditions, at a delivery rate of at least about 0.001 milligrams per minute per square centimeter of the mixed substrate surface, and depositing a silicon-containing material onto the mixed substrate surface at a rate of about 10 A per minute or greater.
- deposition and/or growth methods have now been developed that utilize cyclohexasilane and a carbon source to deposit carbon-doped Si-containing films using a modified chemical vapor deposition and/or growth system (reduced pressure chemical CVD) which operates in the range of lOmTorr to 200 Torr.
- a modified chemical vapor deposition and/or growth system reduced pressure chemical CVD
- Such deposition and/or growth methods are capable of producing a variety of Si-containing single crystal films that are substitutional ⁇ doped with carbon to various levels, including levels that are significantly higher than those achieved using prior methods.
- preferred deposition and/or growth methods using cyclohexasilane as a silicon source can be used to deposit a variety of carbon-doped single crystal Si films having a range of substitutional carbon levels, including levels of greater than 1.8 atomic % while simultaneously maintaining a constant reaction temperature throughout the process.
- Another embodiment provides a method for depositing an epitaxial silicon film, comprising: providing a substrate disposed within a chamber; initiating decomposition of said cyclohexasilane; and exposing the substrate to cyclohexasilane under reduced pressure chemical vapor deposition and/or growth conditions and depositing a single silicon film onto the substrate at a temperature of less than about 550°C and a pressure of less than about 200 Torr.
- Another embodiment provides a method for depositing an epitaxial silicon film, comprising: providing a substrate disposed within a chamber; introducing cyclohexasilane and a carbon source to the chamber under reduced pressure CVD conditions and depositing a single crystalline silicon film onto the substrate at a temperature of less than about 550°C and a pressure of less than about 200 Torr thereby producing a single crystalline silicon film comprising at least 1.8 atomic % substitutional carbon, as determined by x-ray diffraction.
- Another embodiment provides an integrated circuit comprising a first single crystalline Si-containing region and a second single crystalline Si-containing region, at least one of the first single crystalline Si-containing region and the second single crystalline Si-containing region comprising an amount of substitutional carbon effective to exert a tensile stress on a third single crystalline Si-containing region positioned between the first single crystalline Si-containing region and the second single crystalline Si-containing region, the third single crystalline Si- containing region exhibiting an increase in carrier mobility of at least about 10% as compared to a comparable unstressed region.
- a modified low pressure-chemical vapor deposition and/or growth system for forming an epitaxial film on a substrate, comprising a deposition and/or growth chamber having chamber dimensions and opposite ends; a decomposition chamber is operatively disposed between the cyclohexasilane source and the chamber thus allowing the initiation of cyclohexasilane decomposition prior to entry into the chamber; a gas inlet adjacent the other of the ends of the chamber for introducing decomposed cyclohexasilane into the chamber; and a substrate support means for supporting the substrates within the chamber.
- a modified low pressure-chemical vapor deposition and/or growth system for forming an epitaxial film on a substrate, comprising a deposition and/or growth chamber having chamber dimensions and opposite ends; a high-speed pump means connected to one of the ends of the chamber and operative to maintain the deposition and/or growth pressure in the chamber at or below 200 Torr; a gas inlet adjacent the other of the ends of the chamber for introducing gas into the chamber so that the gas flows generally in a direction from the gas inlet to the pump means; substrate support means for supporting the substrates within the chamber; and said high speed pump is capable of flowing a carrier gas into said chamber at concentrations so high that any contaminants, such as but not limited to oxygen, water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, siloxanes, disiloxanes, and higher siloxanes present are diluted out.
- any contaminants such as but not limited to oxygen, water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, siloxanes, disiloxanes, and higher siloxanes present are diluted out.

- Figure 3 is a schematic view of a reactor set up for a system having a high speed pump employing cyclohexasilane, a carbon source, an etchant gas, and a carrier gas for selectively depositing silicon-containing films in accordance with the present invention.
- Figure 4 shows a schematic illustration of a device containing selectively and epitaxially deposited silicon-containing layers within a MOSFET.
- the methods described herein enable the production of novel epitaxial Si-containing films that are uniformly thin, as well as doped epitaxial Si-containing films in which the dopant is uniformly distributed throughout the film, preferably in both the across-film and through-film directions and may contain relatively high levels of substitutional carbon.
- the methods described herein also enable the production of very thin, continuous films.
- Substrate refers either to the workpiece upon which deposition and/or growth is desired, or the surface exposed to the deposition and/or growth gas(es).
- the substrate may be a single crystal silicon wafer, or may be a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, or may be an epitaxial Si, SiGe or III-V material deposited upon such wafers.
- Workpieces are not limited to wafers, but also include glass, plastic, or any other substrate employed in semiconductor processing.
- a "mixed substrate” is a substrate that has two or more different types of surfaces.
- the surfaces can be made from different elements such as copper or silicon, or from different metals, such as copper or aluminum, or from different Si-containing materials, such as silicon or silicon dioxide. Even if the materials are made from the same element, the surfaces can be different if the morphologies of the surfaces are different. The electrical properties of surfaces can also make them different from each other.
- silicon- containing layers are simultaneously formed over conductive semiconductive materials and dielectrics. Examples of dielectric materials include silicon dioxide (including low dielectric constant forms such as carbon-doped and fluorine-doped oxides of silicon), silicon nitride, metal oxide and metal silicate.
- epitaxial epitaxially
- heteroepitaxial epitaxially
- single-crystal epitaxially
- Epitaxial deposition and/or growth may be heteroepitaxial when the composition of the deposited layer is different from that of the substrate.
- crystallinity of a layer generally falls along a continuum from amorphous to polycrystalline to single-crystal; the skilled artisan can readily determine when a crystal structure can be considered single-crystal or epitaxial, despite low density faults.
- Specific examples of mixed substrates include without limitation single crystal/polycrystalline, single crystal/amorphous, epitaxial/polycrystalline, epitaxial/amorphous, single crystal/dielectric, epitaxial/dielectric, conductor/dielectric, and semiconductor/dielectric. [0039] Even if the materials are made from the same element, the surfaces can be different if the morphologies (crystallinity) of the surfaces are different.
- Such a mixed substrate comprises a first surface having a first surface morphology and a second surface having a second surface morphology.
- surface morphology refers to the crystalline structure of the substrate surface.
- Amorphous and crystalline are examples of different morphologies.
- Polycrystalline morphology is a crystalline structure that consists of a disorderly arrangement of orderly crystals and thus has an intermediate degree of order. The atoms in a polycrystalline material are ordered within each of the crystals, but the crystals themselves lack long range order with respect to one another.
- Single crystal morphology is a crystalline structure that has a high degree of long range order.
- Epitaxial films are characterized by a crystal structure and orientation that is identical to the substrate upon which they are grown, typically single crystal.
- the atoms in these materials are arranged in a lattice-like structure that persists over relatively long distances (on an atomic scale).
- Amorphous morphology is a noncrystalline structure having a low degree of order because the atoms lack a definite periodic arrangement.
- Other morphologies include microcrystalline and mixtures of amorphous and crystalline material.
- Embodiments of the invention generally provide methods and apparatus for forming and treating a silicon-containing epitaxial layer. Specific embodiments pertain to methods and apparatus for forming and treating an epitaxial layer during the manufacture of a transistor.
- silicon-containing materials, compounds, films or layers should be construed to include a composition containing at least silicon and may contain germanium, carbon, boron, arsenic, phosphorus gallium and/or aluminum. Other elements, such as metals, halogens or hydrogen may be incorporated within a silicon-containing material, compound, film or layer, usually in part per million (ppm) concentrations.
- Compounds or alloys of silicon- containing materials may be represented by an abbreviation, such as Si for silicon, SiGe for silicon germanium, Si:C for silicon carbon and SiGeC for silicon germanium carbon. The abbreviations do not represent chemical equations with stoichiometrical relationships, nor represent any particular reduction/oxidation state of the silicon-containing materials.
- the delivery of cyclohexasilane to the surface of a substrate results in the formation of a Si- containing film.
- delivery of decomposed cyclohexasilane to the surface whether it be mixed or patterned substrate surface is accomplished by introducing the cyclohexasilane to a suitable chamber having the substrate disposed therein.
- a high quality Si-containing film can be deposited onto the surface of the substrate regardless of the various surface types.
- Deposition may be suitably conducted according to the various CVD methods known to those skilled in the art, but the greatest benefits are obtained when deposition is conducted according to the CVD methods taught herein.
- the disclosed methods may be suitably practiced by employing CVD, including plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) or thermal CVD, utilizing gaseous cyclohexasilane to deposit a Si-containing film onto a mixed substrate contained within a CVD chamber.
- PECVD plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition
- thermal CVD utilizing gaseous cyclohexasilane to deposit a Si-containing film onto a mixed substrate contained within a CVD chamber.
- Thermal CVD is preferred.
- cyclohexasilane 106 is preferably introduced to the chamber 120 in the form of a gas or as a component of a feed gas.

For example, from about 12 slm to about 45 slm, and more specifically from about 20 slm to about 40 slm, for example, about 34 slm at a pressure of about less than 100 Torr.
- Carrier gases may include helium, nitrogen (N 2 ), hydrogen (H 2 ), argon, and combinations thereof.
- a carrier gas may be selected based on the precursor(s) used and/or the process temperature during the epitaxial process.
- the carrier gas is the same throughout for each of the deposition and etching steps. However, some embodiments may use different carrier gases in particular steps.

- a carbon source may be added during deposition to the process chamber with the silicon source and carrier gas to form a silicon-containing compound, such as a silicon carbon material.
- a carbon source, i.e. 100%, is usually provided into the process chamber at a rate in the range from about 0.1 seem to about 40 seem, for e x ample, from about 3 seem to about 25 seem, and more specifically, from about 5 seem to about 25 seem, for example, about 10 seem.
- the carbon sources as introduced to said chamber typically has a purity level in the range of approximately 97 % to approximately 99.9% and having oxygenated impurities less than 100 ppm and preferably having oxygenated impurities less than 10 ppm and more preferably having oxygenated impurities less than 500 ppb.
- the deposition gas used during deposition may further include at least one dopant compound to provide a source of elemental dopant, such as boron, arsenic, phosphorus, gallium or aluminum.
- Dopants provide the deposited silicon- containing compounds with various conductive characteristics, such as directional electron flow in a controlled and desired pathway required by the electronic device. Films of the silicon-containing compounds are doped with particular dopants to achieve the desired conductive characteristic.
- the silicon-containing compound is doped n-type, such as with phosphorus, antimony and/or arsenic to a concentration in the range from about 10 20 atoms/cm 3 to about 10 21 atoms/cm 3 .

- the purging and/or evacuating processes remove excess deposition gas, reaction by-products and other contaminants.
- the process chamber may be purged for about 10 seconds by flowing a carrier gas at about 5 slm. A cycle of deposition and etch may be repeated for numerous cycles.
- a blanket or non-selective deposition is performed at low temperatures, for example, below about 550°C and lower, using a silicon source, preferably cyclohexasilane.
- a silicon source preferably cyclohexasilane.
- This assists in amorphous growth (rather than polycrystalline) on dielectric surfaces such as oxide and nitride during the deposition step (nonselective deposition), which facilitates removal of the layer on dielectric surfaces by a subsequent etch step and minimizes damage on single crystalline layer grown on the crystalline substrate.
- a typical selective epitaxy process involves a deposition reaction and an etch reaction.
- the epitaxial layer is formed on a monocrystalline surface while a polycrystalline layer is deposited on at least a second layer, such as an existing polycrystalline layer and/or an amorphous layer.
- the deposition and etch reactions occur simultaneously with relatively different reaction rates to an epitaxial layer and to a polycrystalline layer.
- the deposited polycrystalline layer is generally etched at a faster rate than the epitaxial layer. Therefore, by changing the concentration of an etchant gas, the net selective process results in deposition of epitaxy material and limited, or no, deposition of polycrystalline material.
- a selective epitaxy process may result in the formation of an epilayer of silicon-containing material on a monocrystalline silicon surface while no deposition is left on the spacer.
- Source/drain extension features are manufactured by etching a silicon surface to make a recessed source/drain feature and subsequently filling the etched surface with a selectively grown epilayers, such as a silicon germanium (SiGe) material.
- a selectively grown epilayers such as a silicon germanium (SiGe) material.
- Selective epitaxy permits near complete dopant activation with in situ doping, so that the post annealing process is omitted. Therefore, junction depth can be defined accurately by silicon etching and selective epitaxy.
- the ultra shallow source/drain junction inevitably results in increased series resistance. Also, junction consumption during silicide formation increases the series resistance even further.
- an elevated source/drain is epitaxially and selectively grown on the junction. Typically, the elevated source/drain layer is undoped silicon.
- Embodiments of the present invention provide selective epitaxy processes for silicon-containing films, for example, Si:C films with high substitutional carbon concentration (greater than 1.8 %), which can be used for forming tensile stressed channel of N-type Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) structure when epitaxial films are grown on recessed source/drain of a transistor.
- MOSFET Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor
- cyclohexasilane enables high growth rates at very low temperatures.
- the methods follow a sequential order, however, the process is not limited to the exact steps described herein. For example, other process steps can be inserted between steps as long as the order of process sequence is maintained.
- the individual steps of an epitaxial deposition will now be described according to one or more embodiments.
- MOSFET devices formed by processes described herein may contain a pMOS component or an nMOS component.
- the pMOS component, with a p-type channel has holes that are responsible for channel conduction, while the nMOS component, with a n-type channel, has electrons that are responsible channel conduction. Therefore, for example, a silicon-containing material such as SiGe may be deposited in a recessed area to form a pMOS component. In another example, a silicon-containing film such as SiC may be deposited in a recessed area to form a nMOS component. SiGe is used for pMOS application for several reasons.
- SiGe grown epitaxially on the top of silicon has compressive stress inside the film because the lattice constant of SiGe is larger than that of silicon.
- the compressive stress is transferred in the lateral dimension to create compressive strain in the pMOS channel and to increase mobility of the holes.
- SiC can be used in the recessed areas to create tensile stress in the channel, since the lattice constant of SiC is smaller than that of silicon. The tensile stress is transferred into the channel and increases the electron mobility. Therefore, in one embodiment, a first silicon-containing layer is formed with a first lattice strain value and a second silicon-containing layer is formed with a second lattice strain value.
- the carbon-doped silicon epitaxial layer is desirable to selectively form the carbon-doped silicon epitaxial layer on the source/drain either through selective deposition or by post-deposition processing. Furthermore, it is desirable for the carbon-doped silicon epitaxial layer to contain substitutional C atoms to induce tensile strain in the channel. Higher channel tensile strain can be achieved with increased substitutional C content in a carbon-doped silicon source and drain.
- n- doped epitaxial layer involves exposing a substrate in a process chamber to deposition gases including a silicon source, a carbon source and an n-dopant source at a first temperature and pressure and then exposing the substrate to an etchant without varying the temperature or the pressure.
- deposition gases including a silicon source, a carbon source and an n-dopant source at a first temperature and pressure and then exposing the substrate to an etchant without varying the temperature or the pressure.
- a source/drain extension is formed within a MOSFET device 400 wherein the silicon-containing layers are epitaxially and selectively deposited on the surface of the substrate 410.
- a source/drain region 412 is formed by implanting ions into the surface of a substrate 410. The segments of source/drain region 412 are bridged by the gate 418 formed on gate oxide layer 416 and spacer 414.
- silicon-containing epitaxial layer 420 and polycrystalline layer 422 are SiC-containing layers with a carbon concentration in a range of at least about 1.8 atomic % substitutional carbon to at least about 3.0 atomic % substitutional carbon, as determined by x-ray diffraction.
- silicon-containing epitaxial layer 420 and polycrystalline layer 422 are SiGe-containing layers with a germanium concentration in a range from about 1 at % to about 50 at %, preferably about 24 at % or less.
- Multiple SiGe-containing layers containing varying amounts of silicon and germanium may be stacked to form silicon-containing epitaxial layer 240 with a graded elemental concentration.
- a first SiGe-layer may be deposited with a germanium concentration in a range from about 15 at % to about 25 at % and a second SiGe-layer may be deposited with a germanium concentration in a range from about 25 at % to about 35 at %.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a preferred reactor system 300 employing a carrier gas 302 (helium in the illustrated embodiment), a carbon source 304 (methylsilane in the illustrated embodiment), a silicon source 306 (cyclohexasilane in the illustrated embodiment) and an etching gas 308.
- Reactor system 300 utilized by the present invention comprises a Centura ® RP-CVD (Reduced Pressure-Vacuum Chemical Vapor Deposition) manufactured by Applied Materials and modified according to the present invention by adding a high flow pump 350 as discussed further below.
- Centura ® RP-CVD Reduced Pressure-Vacuum Chemical Vapor Deposition
- the gases introduced into the reactor system 300 are highly purified by a gas purifier (not shown) before being introduced into reaction chamber 320. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the gas purifier such that the gas is introduced into the reaction chamber 320 after having been purified highly. Thereby, an impurity of oxygen, water, siloxanes, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (C0 2 ) or the like included in the gas, is minimized.
- Some of the carrier gas 302 flow is shunted to a vaporizer in the form of a bubbler 312, from which carrier gas 302 carries vaporized cyclohexasilane 307 at a ratio of approximately 0.005, thereby forming a saturated process gas.
- the carrier gas 302 merges with the other reactants at the main gas cabinet 330, upstream of the injection manifold (not shown) for deposition chamber 320.
- a source of etchant gas 308 is also optionally provided for selective deposition processes.
- the reactor system 300 also includes a high speed pump 350. It has been discovered that this high speed pump 350 is essential to the present invention as it allows main carrier gas 302 flowing to the chamber to flow at a much higher rate than that of cyclohexasilane saturated vapor 307, that is in the range of 0- 20,000 and preferably from 2,000 to 10,000 and more preferably from 100 to 2000 times greater than the flow rate of the cyclohexasilane saturated vapor 307.
- interstitial oxygen content should be 1 E18 atom/cm 3 or lower and preferably less than 2E17 atom/cm 3 .
- Interfacial oxygen content should be below SIMS detectable limits (dose at interface) with a background of 5E17 atom/cm 3 .
- Interstitial carbon content should be 5E17 atom/cm 3 or lower.
- Interfacial carbon should be below SIMS detectable limits with a minimum background of 5E17 atom/cm 3 or lower. This requirement is accomplished as a result of the high speed pump 350 as carrier gas 302 at pressures in the range of about 10 mTorr - 200 Torr, preferably lOmTorr - 50 Torr and more preferably l OmTorr - 10 Torr has a flow rate of up to 50slm which is approximately two hundred times that of cyclohexasilane saturated vapor 307; consequently, impurities that may be present in reaction chamber 320 are literally diluted out.
- a central controller (not shown), electrically connected to the various controllable components of reactor system 300.
- the controller is programmed to provide gas flows, temperatures, pressures, etc., to practice the deposition processes as described herein upon a substrate housed within reaction chamber 320.
- the controller typically includes a memory and a microprocessor, and may be programmed by software, hardwired or a combination of the two, and the functionality of the controller may be distributed among processors located in different physical locations. Accordingly, the controller can also represent a plurality of controllers distributed through reactor system 300.
- the dopant hydride source 310 is preferably also provided to produce in situ doped semiconductor layers with enhanced conductivity.
- the dopant hydride is arsine or phosphine, and the layer is n-type doped.
- the diluent inert gas for the dopant hydride is also hydrogen gas.
- phosphine 310 and methylsilane 304 are preferably stored at their source containers in, e.g., hydrogen.
- Typical dopant hydride concentrations are 0.1% to 5% in hydrogen 302, more typically 0.5% to 1.0% in hydrogen for arsine and phosphine.
- Typical carbon source concentrations are 5% to 50% in hydrogen 302, more typically 10% to 30% in hydrogen.
- experiments are being conducted with 20% methylsilane 304 in hydrogen 302.
- the apparatus described above in Figure 3 can be modified to incorporate a decomposition chamber (not shown) in feed line /.
- Vaporized cyclohexasilane 307 enters decomposition chamber and decomposition is initiated by way of thermal, photolysis, radiation, ion bombardment, plasma, etc., Such decomposition methods are known to those skilled in the art.
